.AVIATION...
/06Z TAFS/

Some brief MVFR cigs possible this morning across the southern
terminals during the overnight hours. However, as surface winds
shift to the west these low clouds should shift east and out of
the area by shortly after sunrise. VFR conditions will then 
prevail with mainly westerly winds, gusty at times into the late 
afternoon hours.

AVIATION...
/00Z TAFS/

Low cloud development tonight is expected at all of our
TAF sites except KABI. Associated ceilings will be MVFR.
Low clouds will dissipate from west to east between 11Z
and 14Z Tuesday, as a dryline/Pacific front moves through 
the area. South-southeast winds this evening will veer to 
southwest by late tonight. Somewhat gusty west-northwest 
winds are expected to develop on Tuesday morning.

SHORT TERM...
(Tonight and Tuesday)

No significant changes in the short term. Skies are clear to 
partly cloudy, and temperatures have warmed into the 70s in most
locations. South winds will persist tonight, with a return of low
clouds for parts of the area south of a Brownwood to San Angelo to
Ozona line. An upper level shortwave will move east through the
southern plains tonight through Tuesday. Behind this feature, an
Pacific cold front/dryline will move through our area, bringing
drier air and west winds. This will clear out the morning low
clouds by mid to late morning, and also result in continued
warming with highs getting into the upper 70s to mid 80s.

LONG TERM...
(Tuesday Night through Monday)

Above normal temperatures are forecast across West Central Texas 
Wednesday through Friday. Highs will be running 15 to 20 degrees 
above normal, in the mid 80s to lower 90s. Overnight low 
temperatures will be in the 60s. A cold front is then forecast to 
move through the forecast area late Friday, resulting in cooler 
temperatures. In addition, isolated to scattered showers and 
thunderstorms will be possible as the front moves through, mainly 
across the eastern third of the area. Highs this weekend will be in 
the 70s with overnight lows in the 40s.
